basically they come from a family that had pretty horrible parents. troy is a cop, and ophelia works at the strip club that's owned by the mc. the family is a bit at odds with one side on the mc and one side on the law. with ophelia in the middle.
there's also ~dougherty, whom is an enforcer for the mc. he's also had this weird will they/won't they thing with ophelia. we were thinking the two met because his little sister (~gloryd) and possibly your character would have dated when they were a lot younger (and broken up by now). so there's that possible connection too.
